Maybe the fastest would be this:
var findHtml = 'Find Me!';
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
var found = [];
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; i++) {
if (elements[i].innerHTML == findHtml) {
found.push(elements[i]);
}
}
You could use $$() but in IE it would extend each element and be slow.
You could use $A() but it also may be slow.
Preferably you'd want to specify a tag name instead of '*'.

// options that use Prototype
// $$()
$$('*').findAll(function(element) {
return element.innerHTML == findHtml;
});
// $A()
$A(document.getElementsByTagName('*')).findAll(function(element) {
return element.innerHTML == findHtml;
});
